Also late model phone chargers have fairly fast charging times and a fast charger might not be necessary. Fast chargers get very hot.

Using fast chargers can reduce the overall battery life and make the battery unable to charge to full power.

Solar Powered Chargers

Some unusual phone chargers are available on the market for those who enjoy gadgetry or are looking to reduce waste. Solar phone chargers use small solar panels to capture the energy in sunlight and use it to restore the battery. These can be a very good choice for people on camping or hiking trips who will be away from standard power sources. A similar alternative is a hand-cranked charger, which uses manual power to provide a charge. These phone chargers may take serious arm work to provide a decent amount of charge, but have the benefit of not needing sunlight to charge in remote locations.

Hand Cranked Chargers

Hand cranked chargers are a great to have for several situations. For camping or outdoor trips, there is no telling if weather will be suitable for charging a battery with a solar charger. And you don't know when your battery will need to be charged up again. It could be in the night. Another great reason for a hand cranked charger is you might be in the middle of a storm and not have any electricity to power or charge any device.

Those whose work involve being outdoors like a guide might benefit from solar type chargers. Chargers that use a hand crank are good backup for emergencies especially if no land line is available. The choice of charger is as individual as the lifestyle of the user.
